Chapter 281 North of Chiyang County

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 It makes no sense for Zhuge Liang to bury Zhao Yun lavishly. Even with the courtesy of a prince, he did not feel that there was anything excessive.

After all, the old general has been in the army for half his life and has made many meritorious deeds for the Han Dynasty.

Let’s talk about his later years.

When guarding Wuguan, Sima Yi didn't let Sima Yi take a step beyond Wuguan.

In the Battle of Jinzhong, Sima Division’s 50,000 main force was defeated first.

Then they directly attacked Cao Rui's Jinyang camp, and finally captured Cao Wei Emperor Cao Rui alive.

This is not counting his achievements during the late emperor's period.

Therefore, the emperor said that he would be buried with royal rites, and Zhuge Liang certainly had no objection.

But——

Zhuge Liang was really surprised.

He has no plans to enter the palace today. The smallpox epidemic in Chang'an City is still very serious, and he is still busy inoculating the people of Chang'an with cowpox.

If I hadn’t learned about Zhao Yunxian’s death early in the morning,

He really would not enter the palace to see Liu Chan at this time.

I originally thought that Liu Chan might still be in grief,

Regarding the death of General Zhao,

He might not be able to come up with an idea.

But although Liu Chan was still very sad, he made the most correct arrangements for the future of General Zhao.

"Your Majesty!"

After talking about Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang paused and then asked: "The Queen's mausoleum..."

"North of Chiyang County..." Liu Chan said casually: "Liangshan——"

"???"

It was a casual question, but Liu Chan gave him the exact location. Zhuge Liang was stunned and immediately searched for this location in his mind.

It’s just that Liu Chan didn’t speak.

The queen is the most important person to him. The ancients advocated that death should be treated as life, so the location of her mausoleum is naturally very important.

And——

According to the Han etiquette system, the empress must be buried with the emperor. Now Zhang Yuan goes first and chooses the location of Zhang Yuan's mausoleum. In fact, he is also choosing the location of Liu Chan's mausoleum.

Liangshan——

Isn’t it called this name here now?

Liu Chan didn't know, but he knew that Liangshan was located six kilometers north of Qianxian County in Xianyang in later generations.

At this moment, the name of Qian County is Chiyang County.

Liangshan may not have a name now, and it is not famous, but in later generations it will be very famous because it is the location of the Qianling Mausoleum of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian.

Qianling Mausoleum is famous not only because it is the mausoleum of Empress Wu Zetian and Li Zhi, but it is also one of the few ancient emperors' mausoleums that has not been disturbed.

Liu Chan is a time traveler. He has watched many archeology programs in his previous life. Even powerful dynasties like the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the tombs of emperors in the past, have not been able to escape the intrusion of tomb robbers.

Now he is also the emperor. According to the current development, he will naturally not be an Anle Gong, and there will be his imperial mausoleum in the future.

Qianling——

They have been targeted by various tomb robbers many times, but no tomb robber has ever entered their tomb. Until Liu Chan traveled through time, Qianling Mausoleum was still safe and sound.

We are still in the Three Kingdoms era, which is still hundreds of years away from the Tang Dynasty.

So when Zhuge Liang asked about the Queen's mausoleum, Liu Chan didn't think twice and directly designated Liangshan as the mausoleum of Queen Zhang Yuan, and of course his future mausoleum.

Then again, in fact, until Zhang Yuan passed away,

Liu Chan once again felt the insignificance of human beings, and he was still not sure whether he was also infected with smallpox. After all, he had close contact with Zhang Yuan, who was infected with smallpox.

Alas——

Maybe it won’t be long before I have to see Zhang Yuan.

Therefore, choosing a mausoleum for Zhang Yuan is also choosing a mausoleum for him.

......

Liu Chan lived a very simple life in the following days. He stayed in Jiaofang Hall every day, and would also go to Zhang Yuan's mourning hall to sit for a while and talk to Zhang Yuan.

Valley strategy

On the fifth day after Zhang Yuan's death, some slight rashes appeared on Liu Chan's face, hands, and neck.

No surprise, Liu Chan was also infected with smallpox.

He was not spared.

The emperor contracted smallpox, which shocked the civil and military officials of the Han and Manchu dynasties, especially the prime minister Zhuge Liang, the imperial censor Xu Shu and others.

The 17th year of Jianxing of the Han Dynasty (AD 239), June 29th.

Jiaofang Hall.

Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, led several ministers of the court to the house.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang looked sad, and he was a little scared. First, the queen fell ill and died, and now the emperor was also infected with smallpox.

This——

"Xiangfu, it's okay..." Liu Chan smiled slightly and said, "I have already made arrangements to make Chen, the second son of the emperor, the crown prince. If I fail to survive this disaster in the end, I would like to ask my husband to teach the prince more.

Teach him to become a wise king."

Hiss——

Everyone in the room was stunned. Is the emperor explaining his funeral arrangements?

Previously, the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's second son were born, and the court triggered a dispute over the appointment of a crown prince. In the end, Liu Chan temporarily resolved the crisis by secretly establishing a crown prince.

At this moment, Liu Chan has just been confirmed to have contracted smallpox. In fact, the ministers of the court also have this worry. They are worried that if something happens to the emperor, who will inherit the position of prince, such as the brocade box on the yellow beam in the front hall.

Who is it written about?

Before they could ask, Liu Chan gave the answer himself.

Liu Chen, the second son of the emperor, was established as the crown prince.

In fact, Liu Chan had already made his decision during the dispute over the heir apparent. Let’s not talk about his relationship with Zhang Yuan. According to the normal etiquette, he should be the heir apparent.
p>

At that time, the choice of secretly establishing the heir apparent was actually just to prevent the princes from fighting.

After all, Liu Chan was less than thirty years old at that time. According to Liu Chan's life trajectory in history, even if the Shu Han Dynasty finally perished, Liu Chan still lived for several decades.

Therefore, he does not want to establish the position of prince too early. Maybe his approach is not necessarily correct, but no one is perfect, even if he is a time traveler, it is the same.

But, he is also a father.

Naturally, he doesn’t want to see his princes fighting each other for the throne.

It's no longer possible. This smallpox is too scary. He has already confirmed that he has been infected with the disease. He can't guarantee that he will be able to defeat smallpox, so at this time, it is time to determine the successor.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang comforted him and said: "Please take care of the dragon body."

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body."

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body."

A group of ministers all said in unison.

"My dear friends, don't worry -" Liu Chan raised his hand and said with a smile: "I am just saying this as a precaution, but dear friends, don't worry, I will work hard to defeat this smallpox, and I also want to work with you all

, leading the Han soldiers to unify the Central Plains and restore our Han family to the world."

This is true. Although Liu Chan was a little sad because of Zhang Yuan's death, when he was confirmed to be infected with smallpox, his first thought was to fight the disease.

As the saying goes, people cannot be resurrected after death. Even if the person who is not dead is infected with the terrible smallpox epidemic, he still wants to defeat the disease and live a good life. Liu Chan is the same.

Although smallpox is terrible, there are many people who recovered from smallpox in the end. For example, there are two people in Weiyang Palace.

Wang Yuanji and Nuo Qi, they both suffered from smallpox, but they both defeated the disease and are still living well.

In addition, Liu Chan also learned from the old doctor Zhou Ren in the past few days that Queen Zhang Yuan's failure to survive smallpox was probably due to the fact that she was in her menstrual period during those days, resulting in low immunity and ultimately failed to defeat the disease.
p>

But Liu Chan was different. He was confident that he could defeat smallpox.
